I need a frog

kahunaballoona · **Posted:** Tue Jun 09, 2009 10:43 pm

I am in a bit of a pickle. I need a frog that is beyond the basic frog yet not so detailed that it takes forever to make.

I am just having some type of mental block. If anyone could post some images maybe that coould get me off on the right foot.

Thanks

There's a frog here, viewtopic.php?f=26&t=1584&hilit=frog
amd here viewtopic.php?f=21&t=1559&hilit=frog

It's amazing what hitting the search button above does

These are only the first two, there are 8 pages of frogs.

Thanks Graham,

I had seen the frogs that you linked to the thread.

I have been making frogs that are very similar to the Don Caldwell Bullfrog that uses two hearts joined at the lobe. The issue I am having is that when I work outdoors in warmer weather 85 degrees F + in the sun the two hearts tend to fuse together. Thusly, they become difficult to manipulate while adding the other features..they tend to burst ( even when soft).

The ones you stated are great examples. I was just looking for ideas. This weekend I'll sit down and try and incorporate some of the ideas from those posted.

Thanks

Here is a simple frog I do for the little ones. He's a bit creepy looking but the kids love him for some reason. The extra details can be added quickly if made before hand...

Thanks JackMagic.

I really like the frog. It is different from I have seen. I am working on one right now that I will try and post this weekend. Thanks so much

This is a frog that I've used when I want something bigger - it's pretty simple and used 2 rounds and 2 260s

This is the frog I made with a 5" qualatex frog print.
Not special, but nice.
Only I would like to have the prints a bit bigger!, I'm sure that would look nicer.

LOVE that hat!! Too cute! I'm gonna have to see if I can work that one out if you don't mind. Would be a cute addition to my hats. That's my favorite thing to make!!

OK - I made an attempt at that frog hat. Something's not quite right with the mouth but I can't figure it out... Mark, would you mind advising??
